With the current CDC honcho leaving the position at the end of the week, President Joe Biden (D) has picked Mandy Cohen, ex-North Carolina Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, to run the agency. This is the woman who, while in the NC government,
- acceded to Anthony Fauci’s words and directions unquestioningly throughout the Wuhan Virus Situation
- idolized Fauci with a mask featuring his image
- imposed harsh restrictions that disrupted everyday life with no medical—or any other—benefit
- bragged about enforcing mass shutdowns
Nominees to the CDC Directorship aren’t subject to Senate Advice and Consent, so Biden can just appoint her.
